TSH Test Overview
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) or Thyrotropin is produced by the pituitary gland. It acts on the thyroid gland to promote the production of thyroid hormones - thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones are essential for growth and metabolism.
One of the most important and reliable tests to evaluate a person's thyroid function is the TSH Ultrasensitive test. Ultrasensitive Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (U-TSH) as the name suggests is a more refined, sensitive and rapid test with a sensitivity of 0.05 µIU/mL. It is used to detect primary hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and to calculate TRH or track individuals on thyroid replacement treatment. Following are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism: weight loss, rapid heartbeat, tremors, sweating, anxiety, increased sensitivity to heat, etc. Whereas patients with hypothyroidism suffer from weight gain, fatigue, slow heart rate, increased sensitivity to cold, depression, dry and thin hair etc.

TSH then stimulates the Thyroid Gland to produce T3 and T4. TSH Ultrasensitive is important to:

A thyroid panel is a group of tests that are done together to help analyse thyroid gland function and to help diagnose thyroid disorders. The tests in the thyroid panel help measure the amount of thyroid hormones in the blood. These hormones are chemical substances that travel through the blood and control or regulate the body's metabolism—how it functions and uses energy.
